Verifiable AI agent
infrastructure, Rust
systems & security.

I build tooling that makes autonomous AI agents verifiable, recoverable, and safe to run — a tamper-evident execution ledger, burn-after-reading secret handling, and a coding agent that keeps its receipts.

Flagship projects

01 — 03
01

korg Rust

A causally-ordered, rewindable event-ledger for autonomous AI agents.

Every step an agent takes is recorded in a hash-chained, tamper-evident ledger anyone can independently verify — then rewound to any prior state. Zero-trust by design, and no blockchain anywhere in sight.

02

ningen-shikkaku Rust

Burn-after-reading secrets for AI agents.

Keys live in mlock'd, non-swappable RAM, are served to agents over MCP, and are destroyed after N reads — or the instant your session dies. A hardened daemon (seccomp allowlist, no core dumps, a non-elidable memory wipe) shipped with a fully-documented, honest threat model.

03

korgex Python

A verifiable AI coding agent that keeps the receipts.

Works with any model and keeps a checkable record of every change it makes — the agent loop bolted to korg's verification guarantees. Published on PyPI.

What I work on

focus areas
Agent infrastructure

Ledgers, execution substrates, and verification layers that make autonomous agents auditable and recoverable rather than opaque.

Rust systems

Low-level, correctness-first systems work — locked memory, syscall sandboxing, deterministic state machines, hash-chained data structures.

Security

Secret handling, threat modeling that states its own limits honestly, and tooling that shrinks the window plaintext is reachable.
